Motion picture editorial employees of Bento Box En Motion picture editorial employees of Bento Box Entertainment, an animation studio owned by Fox, have overwhelmingly elected to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and its post-production local, the Motion Picture Editors Guild. Bento Box has agreed to recognize the editors’ union after an arbitrator verified that a majority of the employees had signed union authorization cards.

Under card-check agreements, employers agree to honor a union’s majority status on the basis of an independent third party’s confirmation that a majority of the employees have signed statements officially authorizing the union to represent them. After the workers secure union recognition through card-check, the parties begin negotiations on a first union contract.

The entire Guild family mourns the loss of David B The entire Guild family mourns the loss of David Brenner, ACE, a picture editor who passed Feb. 17 at age 59. David was known for his work with Oliver Stone (“Born on the Fourth of July”) as well as the upcoming “Avatar 2.” Jon Landau wrote in a GoFundMe page for David’s family: “For those of us lucky enough to know David, it was not his editorial skills that were most impressive (and they were extraordinary), it was his remarkable compassion for others and the love and commitment he had for his family.” RIP to David and condolences to his family and friends. #postproduction #inmemoriam
